  • Estlands Außenpolitik Nach Dem Beitritt Zur Europäischen Union
    Estlands Außenpolitik nach dem Beitritt zur Europäischen Union – Handlungsoptionen eines Kleinstaates – Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) vorgelegt der Philosophischen Fakultät der Technischen Universität Chemnitz von Till-Gneomar Danckworth geboren am 12. März 1976 in Bonn Cuxhaven, den 29. November 2006 Abgabe: 29. November 2006 Annahme: 16. Mai 2007 Promotionskolloquium: 22. Mai 2007 Zusammenfassung Estland kehrte mit der Aufnahme in die Europäische Union im Mai 2004 auch politisch endgültig zurück nach Europa. Nach Jahrzehnten der Fremdherrschaft sind die Esten nun gleichberechtigte Mitglieder in den europäischen Institutionen. Diese Arbeit will eine Antwort auf die Frage gegeben, welche Optionen die Außenpolitik Estlands nach dem Beitritt zur Europäischen Union (EU) hat. Die Analyse der Außenpolitik erfolgt anhand folgender Leitfragen: • Welche Handlungsoptionen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten stehen einem Kleinstaat in der EU trotz seiner beschränkten Ressourcen zur Verfügung? • Werden Kleinstaaten zu Vasallen der großen EU-Staaten oder kommt ihnen eine neue Vermittlerrolle bei Konflikten in der größeren EU zu? • Können Kleinstaaten angesichts ihrer Dynamik und ihres Pragmatismus in der EU durchsetzungsfähiger werden als große Staaten? • Können kleine Mitgliedsländer vielleicht sogar Vorbilder werden? Gibt es für Estland prädestinierte Partner in der EU? Bearbeitungs- und Beobachtungszeitraum waren die Jahre 2004 bis 2006, währenddessen mehrere Forschungsaufenthalte in Estland und Brüssel absolviert wurden, bei denen wichtige außenpolitische Entscheidungsträger interviewt wurden. Diese Gesprächsreihen leisteten neben einer umfangreichen Literaturrecherche einen entscheiden Beitrag für den Erfolg dieser Dissertation. Summary Following Estonia’s admission to the European Union in May 2004 the country finally was included into the rest of Europe not only geographically, but also politically. After decades of foreign rule the Estonians have become fully emancipated members of the European Institutions.

They provide a high degree of accessibility and flexibility to court uses, and have also contributed greatly to the continued functioning of the courts with relatively little disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Supreme Court and judicial self-governance bodies are well involved in the main aspects of the management of the justice system, particularly on allocation of human and financial resources and in appointment and other aspects of judges’ careers.

  • Estonia: Phase 1
    DIRECTORATE FOR FINANCIAL AND ENTERPRISE AFFAIRS ESTONIA: PHASE 1 REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION AND 1997 REVISED RECOMMENDATION This report was approved and adopted by the Working Group on Bribery in International Business Transactions on 15 February 2006. 1 ESTONIA REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION AND 1997 REVISED RECOMMENDATION A. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION Formal Issues 1. Estonia is the second country, after Slovenia,1 to accede to the 1997 Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (the “Convention”)2 in compliance with Article 13 of the Convention, which regulates accession.3 Estonia started to be a full participant in the OECD Working Group on Bribery in International Business Transactions (the Working Group) in June 2004, and deposited its instrument of accession on 23 November 2004. The Convention entered into force in Estonia on 22 January 2005. The Convention and the Estonian legal system 2. Estonia’s legal system, including provisions on the fight against transnational bribery, has been characterised by rapid changes in recent years. Today, the criminal legislative framework for combating corruption is principally contained in the 2002 Penal Code, the 1999 Anti-Corruption Act4 and the 2004 Code of Criminal Procedure. 3. The implementing legislation5 came into force on 1 July 2004: Sections 297 and 298 of the Penal Code sanction the active bribery of “officials” and Section 288 defines “officials” as those in Estonia and in foreign countries. Legal persons are liable for the two offences. 4. The Estonian Constitution provides that “If laws or other legislation of Estonia are in conflict with international treaties ratified by the [Parliament], the provisions of the international treaty shall apply.” However, the Estonian authorities do not elaborate on the application of this provision in practice.

  • National Report
    Strasbourg, 19 mars 2005 CONF/JUGES (2005) Estonia 2nd EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF JUDGES “JUSTICE AND THE MEDIA” National report prepared by the delegation of Estonia - 2 - 1. Implementation of Recommendation Rec (2003) 13 on the provision of information through the media in relation to criminal proceedings The principles of this recommendation overlap with some articles of the procedural laws, but also with the code of ethics for the journalists and the strategies for public administration. Although precise analysis about the conformity between the recommendation and Estonian laws has not been made, it is clearly not in contradiction with Estonian laws and practice. An Estonian official, Mr Peeter Sookruus, Head of Media and Copyright Department, Ministry of Culture, has taken part in the elaboration of this recommendation in the working-group called Steering Group on the Mass Media (CDMM). 2. Implementation of Recommendation Rec (2002) 2 on access to official documents By the time the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted this recommendation, the Public Information Act (hereinafter: PIA) had already been in force for a year in Estonia. The experts' working group, which had elaborated the recommendation (Steering Committee for Human Rights or CDDH) continued to examine the enforcement of the principles of the recommendation. A very detailed questionnaire on national practices in terms of access to official documents was sent to the states. The Estonian expert in the CDDH was Ms Mai Hion, the Head of the Human Rights division of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In Estonia there are number of legislative acts on access to official documents.
